TWO SINNERS.
BY ELLA wHkELEn WILCOX.


There was a man, twas said ore time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep
quiet,
riot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And the mans better who's had his day.
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
OF the prodigal son who came back TO the
ftld,
And Christian people threw upon the Door
With warmer welcome than ever before,
Wealth and honor were his to command,
And spotless woman gave him her hand,
And the world strewed their pathway with
flowers a-bloom,
Crying, God bless lady and God bless
groom
There was q maiden went astray,
In the golden dawn of life's young day;
She had more passion and heart than head
And she followed blindly where fond love
led,
And love unchecked is dangerous guide,
To wander at will by fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened to let her in;
The preacher prayed that she might be
forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy in heaven,
For this is the law of the earth, we know,
That the woman is Scorned, while The man
may go.
A brave man welded her, after all,
But the world said, frowning, I'VE shall
not call"

Lee.
.TWilson MirrOr.1

In replying to the animadversion
cast upon the military granduer of the
peerless Lee by Longstreet in a recent
article in the Century,, the accom-
plished editor of the admirable Will
mington Star says that Lee was the
noblest piece of manhood that. this
country has produced and the most
engaging and true chivalrous soul that
belongs to history. No imaginary
hero of the past-no Knights of the
Table Round of the wondrous Arthu-
rian legends was ever as pure and
knightfy, and honored truth and JUS
tice and mercy as did the greatest sol
dier of America-the noble and chlv-
alrous Robert Edward Lee.
AS Philip Stanhope Worseley, OF
the Corpus Christi College, of Oxford
England, and the very scholarly and
gifted translator of Homer's s'Iliad,
said of him in his memorable didlca
ton of a poem, he. was 'the mos
stainless of living commanders, ano
except in fortune, the greatest.
IAN angels heart, an angels mouth
No Homer's, could alone for me
Hymn we'll thes-great Confederate South
Virginia first, and LEE.
The noble and admirable Virginia.
was indeed an ideal knight if any eve
walked this earth. To him may b
applied with very slight change, ant
with more of exact truth, the gran'
and exquisite lines the greatest of Vic
torian poets applies to the Prince Con
sort, in his beautiful and immortal ded
ication of the "Idylls of the King
the Oueen-a series of poems that
the most delightful in our Language

ONE LESS AT-HOME-ONE MORE
IN HEAVEN.
SARAH GERALDINE STOCK.

SAhAH GEhAlDANE SIOCh.
One less at home!
The charmed circle. broken-a dear face,
Missed day by day from It's accustomed
place,
But eleansed and saved and perfected by
grace;
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
One voice of welcome hushed, and ever
more
One farewell word spoken; on the shore
Where parting comes not one soul landed
One more in heaven!
One less at home!
Chill as the earth-born midst the thought
would rise,
And wrap our footsteps round, and dim our
eyes,
But the bright sunbeam darteth from the
One more in heaven!
One more at home!
This is not home, where, cramped in earth
Our sight y 'Hl; Of Christ is dim-onr love is cold,
But there, where face to face, we shall be-
Is home and heaven!
One less at home!
Its pain, its sorrow, and its toll to share;
One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear,
One more the crown of ranSOmed souls to
wear,
At home in heaven
One more in heaven
Another thought to brighten cloudy days.
Another theme for thankfulness and praise,
Another link ON high our souls to raise
TO home and heaven
One more at home
That home where separation cannot be,
That home where none are missed eternally
Lord Jesus, grant us all a place with thee,
At home in heaven!

A Remedy for Hard Times.
TWadesboro Iptelligencer.1

Let every farmer raise his own pro-
vision supplies on his farm-a plenty
of everything for man and beast
making that his first and greatest con-
sideration; and then let him raise just
as much cotton as he can, without CIV
ing a lien. Let cotton be secondary
crop-not the main dependence. No
man can buy provisions and pay the
merchant 20 to SO per cent interest
and save himself, no matter how great
NAV be the cotton crops in the fall. 1t
looks to us that every man, with tAlt
an idea in his Uranium, could see how
utterly impossible that is. When we
see a man hiring negroes who loaf one
third of the time, and feeding to them
rations which he has bought at least IS
per cent. higher than they would have
cost, had he paid cash, vainly hoping
to raise enough cotton at s cents pei
pound to accomplish the impossible
task of paying for the supplies which
have been injudiciously purchased ano
lavishly wasted, we feel always like
| SAYING to him in the language of th'
Bible, "Thou fool" The remedy TO
the hard times will be found in observ
ing the suggestions contained in tn
. first paragraph of this item, and in dis
pensing with all the hired help posi-
!, ble-by being frugal, industrious, AM
, in the employment of every minute il
the day.. 1t will not be noticed thi
: year, but next year will tell tale
plenty.
